I was kind of held back from this movie, not being big on Danny Aiello, but actually he's well cast here a s a good natured schlump who can't help but be smitten by the nubile charms of a very young and very good Angelina Jolie. Being a soft-hearted lug he gives her a ride deep into the Mojave desert, Big mistake! First he falls for her mom, sweetly played by Anne Archer, then realizes her boyfriend is a psycho! He tires to high tail it out of there only to find a dead body in his trunk! There's a shoot out at a gas station, a very funny "Rambo" spoof by Alfred Molina, and plenty of sweet moments sprinkled in as it all get sorted out.
I really enjoyed this film and it isn't the type I'm normally drawn too, but Angelina was delightful and it moved along really well to a satisfying conclusion. If you're looking for something off beat, this a good bet.
